Definitely check with the breeder. Your little one might be used to a water bottle. Mine will drink out of bowls too but they prefer the water bottle -- especially my little male Ben. He loves the water bottle! I have a wire crate set up mostly to hold his waterbottle but they do like to go in there and nap sometimes when I am not free to make a lap.
I highly recommend a water bottle. If you don't have a wire crate to put it on the side of, there are plenty of stand aone water bottle holders you can buy too. They don't get their beards wet and they stay much fresher!
